Dissolving dry malt extract

[ChildBear]

The only thing that changes is the isomeration rate. It is much higher, way more ibus than with wort. This can obviously be perceived as harsh. In reality, it's probably just because they didn't account for the additional ibus.

I'm interested in trying out the hop tea + adding DME at the end method that you mentioned. Seems like it'd make for a much quicker brew day. Do you have a formula to figure out the right amount of hops to add (to adjust for the higher isomerization) when converting a regular recipe to a hop tea one?

It highly depends on the og of the recipe. The higher the og, the bigger the difference to plain water.

You can just use the brewers friend ibu calculator to calculate the ibus. The calculator takes this into account. Just type in 1.00 as the OG.

Another starting point for customizing "no boil" DME may be be Coopers Kit customizations (link). It offers four common (for Coopers kits) methods to customize those kits.

One advantage of common technique is that it makes it easier to share recipes.

The methods are (obviously) ingredient specific, so if a method (like #1) seems useless, take a look at the example recipes to see what ingredients are involved.
